Rocky Point
Hacienda.

A new build that feels older than the ocean it sits beside.

The brief was to honor traditional Mexican hacienda architecture without performing it — to build something deeply rooted that could only exist in this specific stretch of beach. The bones came first: a sculptural curved staircase, arched French doors, deep balconies that ask the ocean to come into the rooms with you.

Then the materials. Handcrafted Spanish tile in colors we'd seen nowhere else. Terracotta plaster that took weeks to get right. Bronze iron pulled and forged by hand. Rustic timber beams sourced for their age, not their newness. The kind of palette you can't buy from a catalog because no catalog can hold this much story.

The Great Room anchors it all — a floor-to-ceiling textured stone fireplace, oversized matte black pendants, creamy linens with one emerald accent quoting the desert greenery outside. The master suite leans darker and more romantic — a four-poster spindle bed in ebony, dark wood paneling, a private stone fireplace. Heron prints, glass-fronted closet, and three balconies so the first thing you see every morning is the Sea of Cortez. The master tub opens to a balcony overlooking the ocean, with a fireplace beside it.
